Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause serious injury or property damage. Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional information, consult a qualified installer or service agency.
If the information in these instructions is not followed exactly, fire or explosion may result and can cause property damage, personal injury or death.
Do not install on combustible flooring. Minimum clearance to combustible construction is: SIDES: 6”;
BACK: 6”; FRONT: 24”. Install in accordance with all local codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to National Fuel Gas Code and/or NFPA 31 or ANSI Z21.10.1.

For multiple heater installations, run a separate suction and return line for each heater if possible.
Where the combined lift in feet and horizontal run exceeds 100’, install a booster pump as near to the supply tank as possible. Return lines must be the same diameter as suction lines and extend close to the bottom of the storage tank, but stop slightly above the suction lines. Use a minimum of fittings, making bends in tubing with as large a radius as possible. Always use flared fittings, not compression fittings. If pipe is used instead of tubing, do not connect the burner to the pipe – use copper tubing and form a coil before attaching to the burner.
The burner is shipped separately. Unpack and examine to be sure the unit is in good condition. Install on the water heater using the mounting bolts provided. On larger burners, an additional pedestal is supplied to support the burner. Make sure there are no obstructions in front of the burner and that the burner is not protruding into the combustion area.
Using “L” or “A” type venting, connect the heater to the chimney. Do not reduce the smoke pipe diameter; use the same size smoke pipe as the heater flue pipe. Run a separate connector from the heater to the chimney where possible. If the heater must be joined to another oil appliance breach- ing before going into the chimney, enlarge the existing breaching to accommodate the extra volume of gases from the heater. The entrance into the breaching should be at a 45° angle.
